Hollins Fancies Swans To Upset Chelsea

Former Swansea manager John Hollins thinks the Swans may have what it takes to beat Chelsea at the Liberty

Hollins told BBC Sport “Chelsea better watch out when they come down to Swansea

“They might think they can knock it about and move them about, but Swansea have got a rhythm.

“Chelsea will try to attack, but it’s defensively they have a problem.

“If [David] Luiz plays alongside Cahill, he’ll have to tell him where to go and what to do because you can’t have Luiz going where he wants.

“With Terry not playing, there’s certainly an opportunity for [Danny] Graham to manoeuvre a good opening. And with [Nathan] Dyer and [Scott] Sinclair attacking, I think it’s looking good for Swansea.

“Sometimes you see him so disheartened after 25 or 30 minutes,” added Hollins when questioned on Fernando Torres, who will lead the line in the absence of Didier Drogba “and if Swansea can do that to him I think Chelsea will look to replace him in the second half.

“I feel sorry for Torres, but he’s not getting the sort of ball he should be getting.

“He needs slide balls to get onto. That’s what he wants, and then when he’s dangerous.”
